\"Beach<\/a>
Beach Town, after quilting<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A friend on FB asked me to post Beach Town. As you regular readers know, I get around to posting everything eventually and this past week has been a bit of a challenge. I wondered whether I should post this on Monday to give you more days to look at, but eventually decided just to stack up a couple of posts today and get through the backlog. When I prepare posts and set them to post on a future date, I can’t link to them until they are posted.<\/p>\n

I spent Monday afternoon and evening working on the machine quilting of this piece. I still have the purple part of the road and the sky as well as the flowers to quilt, but am mostly done.<\/p>\n

I am pleased with how the piece is shaping up. I liked the fluffiness of it before I began the quilting. Now I really like how flat it gets after quilting.<\/p>\n

I have to remember to machine quilt it before I start the hand stitching. I know that will be hard in future Pamela Allen<\/a> classes because of he flow of the class and how excited I get about the pieces I create in her classes.<\/p>\n

It took me a long time (well, a month, which seemed like an eternity) to get back to this piece.\u00a0 I learned something from my mistakes, though:<\/p>\n
